Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Andrew Rutledge, Acting General Manager Citizens and Community

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Council to consider one application for funding from its 2024/25 Capital Endowment Fund (CEF) from the Youth Hub Trust.

1.2 The Capital Endowment Fund is available for not-for-profit organisations who require support for capital projects. They must demonstrate significant benefits for the City and its residents.

1.3 The decision in this report is of medium significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by assessing the number of people affected and/or with strong interest in the outcome of the result.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Council:

1. Makes a grant from the Capital Endowment Fund of $970,000 in 2024/25 and $1,030,000 in 2025/26 to The Youth Hub Trust towards Stage Two development and delivery of the Youth Hub Events Space, on the condition that:

a. The funding is released in two instalments, with the second instalment dependant on evidence of the project’s viability to be brought to completion.

b. Mid-term reporting is submitted prior to release of the second instalment.

c. Final reporting is submitted within six months of project completion.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 This report presents one application for funding from the 24/25 Capital Endowment Fund.

3.2 Attachment A contains a decision matrix which provides detailed information on the application. This includes project details, financial information, strategic alignment and a rationale for each of the recommendations.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 In April 2001, the Council set up a Capital Endowment Fund of $75 million. This fund was established using a share of the proceeds from the sale of Orion's investment in a gas company. The Fund provides an ongoing income stream which can be applied to specific projects.

4.2 On 12 April 2018 the Council resolved to establish criteria for distributing the proceeds of the Capital Endowment Fund (CEF) (CNCL/2018/00057).

4.3 On 13 December 2018 the Council published eligibility and assessment criteria for the CEF and a standard application process. Assessment criteria are as follows:

4.3.1 That the value of the application is greater than $50,000.

4.3.2 That this project is a one off with no expectation of future Council funding.

4.3.3 That the project is not already underway but has run out of funding.

4.3.4 That the project has not already received Council funding through rates revenue, or other funding sources available from Council.

4.3.5 That the project demonstrates a benefit for the City of Christchurch, or its citizens, or for a community of people living in Christchurch.

4.3.6 That the benefits will be experienced now and in the future.

4.4 As this fund is generated through the interest of the sum generated from sale of Orion’s investment, the funding available will change annually.

4.4.1 As per the Long Term Plan 2024/25 the fund had generated $4.651m, which after adding the carry-forward of the previous year ($594,000), and deducting Long Term Plan 2024/25 commitments there is a remaining available balance of $2,424,000.

4.4.2 A detailed breakdown of the allocation is attached to this report as Attachment D.

4.4.3 Any unallocated balance at year-end will carry forward to 2025/26.

4.5 If the recommendations in this report are accepted the available balance of the Capital Endowment Fund in 2024/25 will be $1,309,000.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.6 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:

4.6.1 To not recommend funding the Capital Endowment Fund application.

· This option is not recommended as the application presented in this report has been assessed as eligible under the terms of the fund, is a significant project for the Youth Sector and City, and has been developed in partnership with Council staff.

4.7 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.7.1 Partial funding for the Capital Endowment Fund application.

· This option is not recommended as this project is capital in nature and would risk not proceeding through to completion with a partial grant award.

6.8 The proposed Capital Endowment Fund application is strongly supported by the Youth Sector and has a large number of future users of the space.

6.9 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:

6.9.1 Waipapa – Papanui-Innes-Central

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.10 The decisions in this report do not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land, a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture, and traditions.

6.11 The decisions are not a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.15 The decisions in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.

6. Cashel / Clarkson Temporary Improvements
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/1493299
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Natalie O’Connell, Assistant Planner Urban Regeneration
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	John Higgins, General Manager Strategy, Planning & Regulatory Services

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek the Council’s approval for the proposed temporary improvements and temporary parking changes planned for Cashel Street (East), between Barbadoes and Fitzgerald Avenue at the Clarkson Avenue intersection.

1.2 The report is staff generated and responds to community feedback received during engagement on the recently adopted South-East Central Neighbourhood Plan 21 August 2024.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Council:

1. Receives the information in the Cashel / Clarkson Temporary Improvements Report.

2. Notes that the decision in this report is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

3. Agrees that recommendations 5 to 8 below for the Cashel / Clarkson Temporary Improvements project are for a maximum two-year time period.

4. Notes that staff will report back to Council before the end of the two-year period as to whether the community want the improvements amended, removed or extended for an additional two years.

5. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking or stopping restrictions described in resolutions 6 to 8 below.

6. Approves the removal of two unmarked carpark spaces on the south side of Cashel Street commencing at a point 42 metres west of its intersection with Clarkson Avenue and extending in a westerly direction for 11 metres as detailed on plan TG148801, dated 30/07/2024 and included in this report as Attachment A.

7. Approves the placement of five planter boxes and one bike corral on Cashel Street between Barbadoes Street and Clarkson Avenue as detailed on plan TG148801, dated 30/07/2024 and included in this report as Attachment A.

8. Approves a restriction on the parking of vehicles to a maximum period of 30 minutes (in place of P60) on the south side of Cashel Street, commencing at a point 12 metres west of its intersection with Clarkson Avenue and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 30 metres as detailed on plan TG148801, dated 30/07/2024 and included in this report as Attachment A.

9. Approves that recommendations 5 to 8 above take effect when the parking signage and/or road markings associated with the recommendations are completed.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Temporary improvements are proposed for Cashel Street (East) in response to community feedback during engagement on the South-East Central Neighbourhood Plan (SE Plan).The project responds to key themes in the SE Plan: strong sense of community, a healthy, green neighbourhood and easy and enjoyable to get from A to B. Feedback was gathered both in July 2023 and during formal consultation on the SE Plan during March 2024.

3.2 Feedback for locations of high activity on Cashel St (East) specifically requested greening, seating, bike parking and a change in parking limits for three on-street carparks.

3.3 A concept plan for this location was developed in response to this feedback, as part of the Enliven Places Programme. The concept plan (included in Attachment A for information) includes a variety of elements and is delivered across both private and public land, as outlined in Table 1. While aspects of the Public realm portion of the project could be addressed via a combination of delegations, approval from the Council is sought in this instance to enable consideration of the interrelated parts and to package the resolutions together in a succinct and timely manner.

Table 1

Public or private land	Improvement	Delivery status	Scope
Private land	Collaborative mural	Approved by staff delegation and *complete*	Outside the scope of this report
Footpaths	Seating, greening/pot plants and lamppost art feature	Approved by staff delegation and *underway*	Outside the scope of this report
Carriageway	Greening/planter boxes, bike corral and P30 time restrictions	Seeking Council approval

3.4 Targeted engagement on the Public realm components was completed June 2024. These comprise an addition of five planter boxes and a bespoke bike corral, removal of two P60 carparks to accommodate the new planter boxes and bike corral, and reduction of parking limit for three carparks from P60 to P30.

3.5 80% of affected businesses (16 businesses) were in support of the proposed concept plan, 10% (two businesses) against and 10% (two businesses) neutral.

3.6 The project is anticipated to be completed by 30 November 2024 and installation will have little impact on businesses, as works will be completed within one week.

3.7 The project is intended to remain in place for a maximum of two years and can be extended for an additional two years if there is continued community benefit confirmed via engagement with businesses in 2026. Staff will report back to Council before the end of the two-year period as to whether the community want the improvements amended, removed or extended.

3.8 The temporary improvements will be fully funded, delivered, maintained and eventually decommissioned by the Council’s Enliven Places Capital Programme. The Programme’s budget was reconfirmed in the 2024-2034 Long Term Plan and has budget to continue the project after two years should it continue.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Cashel Street between Barbadoes Street and Fitzgerald Avenue is commercial and industrial and is home to businesses and community service organisations. The area is transitioning with increasing new residential development but has limited amenity, with low tree canopy cover (averaging 2.9% rather than the 15% sought across each ward by the Council tree policy), limited access to green space and little to no public seating or cycle parking.

4.2 The SE Plan identifies a future north-south green link intersecting Cashel Street at the Clarkson Ave intersection and east-west active travel improvements shown in Figure 1 below. Creating an identified node at this point supports intended future movement initiatives.

Figure 1: Map for the future of SE Central

4.3 The SE Plan has received Community Board endorsement and was adopted by the Council on 21 August 2024. The Enliven Places Capital Programme (the Programme) will trial and test the community visioning and aspirations as outlined in the SE Plan by delivering temporary improvements and activation in the public realm.

4.4 Youth and Cultural Development, Elim Church and Tagata Moana are all located within this area and have co-designed the temporary improvement project for the Cashel / Clarkson intersection. Affected businesses were consulted on the proposed plans via targeted engagement.

4.5 A parking survey was undertaken between Thursday 4 April and Sunday 7 April 2024. This indicated the average parking occupancy rate for the focus area was 56% occupancy during weekdays and 35% at the weekend. Although the area reached 100% capacity at 1pm on weekdays and between 11-11:30am on weekends, this only lasted half an hour, quickly dropping back to 73% and 45% respectively. Many affected businesses also have dedicated off-street parking. A summary of the on-street carparking occupancy analysis can be found in Attachment B and community views are set out in para 6.11-13 below. Given the survey findings, there is unlikely to be adverse impact for nearby businesses through the loss of two carparks.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.6 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:

4.6.1 Option 1 – Approve all temporary public realm improvements as per the concept plan for a period of two years. (Attachment A) – Preferred Option

4.6.2 Option 2 – Do nothing.

4.7 The following options were proposed by businesses during consultation and considered by staff but ruled out:

4.7.1 Move the planter boxes to the footpath. The proposal to place large planter boxes within the carriageway, rather than the footpath, reflects the intent to install planters large enough to accommodate a good-sized tree (supporting increased canopy cover); this size of planter would take up too much space on the footpath. Locating the planter boxes within the carriageway and against the kerb also enables better sight lines to the new trees, improving visual impact. While five planter boxes are proposed, only two of these require parking space removal. The others can be accommodated within the carriageway without impacting parking capacity. The specific locations within the carriageway were chosen to minimise the loss of carparks; where carpark removal is needed, this is adjacent to a business that agreed the proposed concept plan.

4.7.2 Move the bike stand closer to Fitzgerald Avenue to prevent the loss of parking in this location. This does not address the specific request for more bike parking outside a particular business. Moving the bike stand to an area where there may not be demand will reduce likelihood of use and have similar impacts on parking capacity.

4.7.3 Extend P30 time restrictions from 310 Cashel Street to Fitzgerald Avenue as per business request for higher turnover of parking spaces. The request came after the targeted consultation period had closed, would expand the geographical scope of the project and require further consultation, extending delivery timelines. Additionally, the Transport Unit has confirmed that parking restrictions in that location were changed to P60 in 2021 and subsequent engagement in 2023 with those businesses confirmed that the 60 minute limit suits the needs of other businesses close by.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.8 Preferred Option: Approve all temporary public realm improvements as per the concept plan for a period of two years. (Attachment A)

4.8.1 Option Advantages

· Responds to community requests and reflects the positive feedback from the majority of community members, who endorse the temporary improvements plan.

· Creates a more attractive environment to encourage more people to want to live and visit the area, including addressing Council tree policy for canopy cover.

· Acts as traffic calming measures to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety, giving effect to cycling-related Level of Service.

· Budget available to provide immediate temporary upgrades, via the trial and test methodology of the Enliven Places Programme, noting Cashel Street is not currently identified for transport improvements in the LTP and is not included in the Te Kaha Street upgrade package.

· Doesn’t require permanent and more costly changes to kerb and channel or require assessment of underground services for permanent tree pits.

· Enables early commencement of delivery on the SE Plan.

4.8.2 Option Disadvantages

· Removes two parking spaces and reduces the time restriction limit of three carparks to P30, which will change overall capacity and carparking functions for local businesses.

· Doesn’t respond to minority of community members who raised concerns about carparking removal.

· Has a project cost (within an allocated budget).

4.9 Option 2 – Do nothing

4.9.1 Option Advantages

· Current carparking function and time restrictions of street remain as is, which responds to minority of community members who raised concerns about carparking removal.

· No further cost implications.

4.9.2 Option Disadvantages

· Would not respond to the initial requests for action received during the SE Plan consultation, or the 80% of respondents who support the proposed concept plan for this location.

· Does not provide temporary improvements to Cashel Street for residents and visitors, including not addressing the Council tree policy for canopy cover.

· Does not create traffic calming measures on 50km/h road as part of improving cycling-related Level of Services.

· Would not take advantage of the only current budget available to improve the environment in this location.

· Does not enable early commencement of SE Plan implementation.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.10 The options considered were determined by the project’s impact on the surrounding community, aiming to provide a balance of temporary improvements to the street while minimising disruption to existing uses.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

	Preferred Option	Option 2

Cost to implement improvements	$38,000 FY25 (covering asset purchase, road signage, landscaping, installation, TMP and staff time)	$11,000 (costs spent to date)
Opex
Maintenance/Ongoing Costs	$1500 p.a.	$0
Decommissioning (if required)	Approximately $10,000 FY27	$0
Funding Source	Enliven Places Programme capital and operational budgets.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 Risk: transport changes

6.1.1 Removal of two P60 carparks for planter boxes and change of three carpark spaces from P60 to P30 may increase pressure on parking availability and adversely affect local business operations if customers can’t access parking nearby.

6.2 Mitigation

6.2.1 Parking occupancy audits – results summarised in 4.6 and Attachment B support the conclusion that removing two carparks will have minimal adverse effects on the area. The addition of cycle stands as requested by a local business intends to help balance the loss of carparks.

6.2.2 Community engagement and feedback – these plans have been developed and informed by the community to ensure positive outcomes with the majority supportive. The concept plan has been designed to minimise the loss of parking. Although two businesses expressed concerns about the loss of parking (see 6.11), the proposed carpark removal is outside Nifty, which is supportive of the plan. The concerned businesses both retain on-street carpark spaces outside their business (one being located opposite the carpark removal and the other being outside the directly impacted focus area to the west).

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

6.3 Statutory and/or delegated authority to undertake proposals in the report:

6.3.1 The Council has delegated to Community Boards its powers under section 334 of the Local Government Act 1974 to construct, remove or alter grass plots or flower beds or trees on roads. However, the Waipapa Papanui-Innes Central Community Board does not have delegated authority to determine this matter as the area is situated within the Central City Area marked on Plan A (Attachment C) so a decision on this matter must be made by the Council.

6.3.2 The Council has delegated to the Central City Parking Restrictions Committee its powers under clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 to prohibit or restrict the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles on any road. Given that part of this decision sits outside the scope of the Committee’s terms of reference, staff seek that Council exercises its decision-making in relation to this matter.

6.3.3 The installation of any signs and/or markings associated with traffic control devices must comply with the Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004.

6.4 This report has been reviewed by Legal Services.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.5 The project:

6.5.1 Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework with particular emphasis on the Council’s Central City Action Plan, Te Haumako Te Whitingia Strengthening Communities Together Strategy, Christchurch Urban Forest Plan and draft Christchurch Transport Plan.

6.5.2 Supports the Central City Parking Policy which seeks to promote over 85% (international good practice) occupancy of parking spaces regularly in the Central City at peak times. Policy 4 recommends introducing stricter time limits in these instances and Policy 9 encourages the provision of parking for sustainable alternatives including bicycles.

6.5.3 Responds to The Urban Forest Plan that sets out guidance to grow the city’s tree canopy cover to have no ward with less than 15%, in part by increasing planting on streets. Cashel Street (East) has 2.9% canopy coverage (2018-19 data).

6.5.4 Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the light-touch, temporary nature of the project and low cost.

6.6 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):

6.7 Strategic Planning and Policy

6.7.1 Activity: City Growth and Property

· Level of Service: 17.0.20.3 Deliver small scale temporary and permanent capital projects to support city identity, community leadership and placemaking - 100% of capital projects align with Urban Regeneration Capital

6.8 Transport

6.8.1 Activity: Transport

· Level of Service: 10.5.2 Improve the perception (resident satisfaction) that Christchurch is a cycling friendly city - >=67%

· Level of Service: 10.5.39 Increase the numbers of people cycling in the central city - >=2,000 cyclists

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.9 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas: Waipapa Papanui-Innes Central Community Board.

6.9.1 A memo to the Community Board was circulated in June 2024 inviting feedback. The Community Board did not request any changes to the proposed plans.

6.10 Targeted engagement with affected businesses (20 businesses) garnered majority (80%) support for the temporary improvements, including comments around appreciation for Council energy focused on the area to green, brighten and beautify, making it a nicer place to be. Comments also included appreciation for public bike parking as currently there is none in the area.

6.11 There was 10% neutral feedback from targeted engagement, and 10% against the temporary improvements. Concerns included the loss of two carparks and that a change of three carparks to P30 may affect business, as there is increasing pressure on parking from the new residential development. Staff feedback to these concerns are also referred to in 6.2.2 above:

6.11.1 The light-touch temporary project is designed to minimise carparking loss to two carparks, temporarily, and in a location specified by the adjacent (supportive) business.

6.12 The P30 time restriction change will provide varied carparking time restrictions, encouraging turnover for the nearby business that specifically requested this change.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.13 The decisions do not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture, and traditions.

6.14 The decisions do not involve a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.15 The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.15.1 Contribute positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

6.15.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

6.16 Well-functioning, compact centres with increased density support a reduction in travel emissions; this is a key element in reducing our vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. Identifying mechanisms to better support a mix of land use activities in denser urban environments is a step to support and improve Ōtautahi’s resilience. Providing cycle stands and greening will enhance amenity in the area, which may incentivise people to use more climate friendly transport modes like biking or walking while contributing to improved canopy cover and carbon sequestration.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 If approved the delivery and implementation is anticipated to be completed by 30 November 2024. Following this, there will be pro-active maintenance of assets.

7.2 Engagement with businesses in 2026 to determine if the temporary improvements will continue or are amended and/or revoked.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 On 25 June 2024 as part of the 2024-34 Long Term Plan the Council resolved to change the parking management at four car parking areas within Hagley Park.

3.2 While the Council has approved the installation of parking meters and a maximum parking time limit, this report is to provide the detailed recommendations for legal enforcement purposes- if these recommendations are approved.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 On the 25 June 2024, the Council as part of the Long-Term Plan 2024-34 meeting, approved that specified car parking areas within Hagley Park (see attachments A, B, C, D) will be managed with parking meters (Resolution CLP/2024/00009). The tariff for these meters will be $4.60 (incl GST) per three hours. This will apply on any Monday – Sunday, 8am – 5pm in the following Hagley Park car parks. Horticultural Car Park, Cricket Oval Car Park, Riccarton Avenue – Botanic Car Park and Armagh Street – Botanic Car Park.

4.2 The above prescribed restrictions and times they operate maybe affected by public events in Hagley Park. These events include provincial and internation cricket matches, Council organised events such as Sparks in the Park, and non-Council organised events such as electric Avenue etc.

4.3 The events mentioned above can have varying parking & access requirements to manage the event, in the different car park areas. This change in normal parking operation will be managed and /or approved by the Council’s Hagley Park and/or Event teams, as currently happens.

4.4 Regarding the Electric Vehicle (EV) parks, the maximum time limit is recommended to be consistent with the other metered parking time limit. The reason is, while some EV’s can fast charge, the primary intention of these parks, is for persons with an EV to visit Hagley Park, or the Botanic Gardens, to charge their vehicle while visiting. This is instead of just using the parks for no other purpose than to charge their vehicle.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.5 The following reasonably practicable option was considered and is assessed in this report:

4.5.1 Install and enforce 35 parking meters at the Horticultural Car Park, Cricket Oval Car Park, Riccarton Avenue – Botanic Car Park and Armagh Street – Botanic Car Park.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.6 Preferred Option: Install and enforce 35 parking meters at the Horticultural Car Park, Cricket Oval Car Park, Riccarton Avenue – Botanic Car Park and Armagh Street – Botanic Car Park.

· Paid parking in these areas close to the CBD will discourage people working in Christchurch CBD to drive to work which will result in them using alternative transport methods that are more environmentally friendly and reduce emissions.

4.6.3 Option Disadvantages

6.3.2 Clause 8 of the Bylaw provides Council with the legal authority to specify charges (tariff) to be paid for parking, and the area (zone) that this applies.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4 The installation and enforcement of 35 parking meters at the Horticultural Car Park, Cricket Oval Car Park, Riccarton Avenue – Botanic Car Park and Armagh Street – Botanic Car Park, complies with the Council’s resolution of 25 June 2024.

6.4.1 Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework.

6.4.2 Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

6.4.3 Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

6.5 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):

6.6 Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

6.9 Christchurch City Councillors have been informed by way of Memo that all identified Community and Sports groups have been consulted about the tariff and parking permit allocation.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.10 The decision does not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land, a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture, and traditions.

6.11 The decision does not involve a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.12 The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.12.1 Contribute positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

6.12.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

6.13 Paid parking in these areas close to the CBD will discourage people working in Christchurch CBD to drive to work which will result in them using alternative transport methods that are more environmentally friendly and reduce emissions.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 Implementation of all required parking infrastructure. This includes the parking meters, road markings and signage.

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide staff advice on how the additional funding allocated for events through the 2024-34 Long Term Plan will be split between partner agencies, noting that this advice includes input from the relevant partner agencies and takes into account the additional funding available for major events as a result of the cancellation of SailGP.

ChristchurchNZ is charged with Major Events and the Council leads Community Events.

3.2 Christchurch NZ’s Major Events Strategy Ōtautahi – Christchurch 2017 was refreshed in 2021 (Christchurch Major Events Strategy 2021) and endorsed by the Council on 9 December 2021, Item 23, (CNCL/2021/00203).

3.3 Funding of $2.05m was included in the Councils 2023/24 Annual Plan for the Event Ecosystem, with funding for future years to be considered through the 2024-34 Long Term Plan (LTP) process.

MR24a(iv): FY27/28 - $0.4 million.

MR24b: That the Council requests staff to provide advice on how the additional funding for events should be split between partner agencies, noting that this advice should include input from the relevant partner agencies and take into account the additional funding available for major events as a result of the cancellation of SailGP.

A68. Akaroa Heritage Festival Society Ltd

A68. That the Council underwrites $100,000 to the Akaroa Heritage Festival Society Ltd for the Akaroa French Festival in FY26 and FY28 from the Eco Events System Funding approved in the Mayor's Recommendation (MR24).

A10. Screen Production

A10. That the Council:

A10a. Notes that Christchurch NZ has $200,000 available for Screen Grants in FY24/25.

A10b. Agrees to allocate $100,000 in FY24/25, and $300,000 in FY25/26 from the additional events funding in the Mayor's Recommendation (MR24) due to the funding available for major events as a result of the cancellation of Sail GP.

3.7 The additional events funding of $1,200,000 in 2024/25 will be allocated as follows:

· $400,000 for events held in venues managed by Venues Ōtautahi.

· $400,000 to Christchurch NZ for the Screen Canterbury Grant of $100,000 in 2024/25, with the balance to be used for major events or business subvention.

· $400,000 to be held by Christchurch City Council for the City Identity events and the Arts and Culture Fund.

4. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Review of Event Ecosystem responsibilities

4.1 With the opening of Parakiore Recreation and Sport Centre in late 2025 and One New Zealand Stadium in early 2026 it is timely to review and confirm the responsibilities of Christchurch NZ, Venues Ōtautahi, and the Christchurch City Council within the event ecosystem. Once this review is completed staff advice will be provided for the allocation of the additional events funding from 2025/26 onwards.

4.2 Below is a visual representation of the current roles within the event ecosystem.

Funding of events

4.3 The funding available for the attraction and delivery of events in 2024/25 is:

	Year 1
Funding Source	Jul 24 - Jun 25
CNZ Major Event Funding	$503,541
Regional Event Fund Balance	$568,881
Annual Plan 2023/24 Balance	$182,850
Seed Fund Balance	$ 76,750
SailGP 2025 Balance	$718,000
CNZ Event Ecosystem Funding	$400,000
VO Event Ecosystem Funding	$400,000
Subtotal	$2,850,022
Council - Bidding	$ 50,000
Council - Arts & Culture Fund	$ 50,000
Council - Seeding	$ 72,500
Council - Small Sports	$ 32,396
Council - Identity Fund	$350,000
Council - Events & Festivals	$521,785
Subtotal Community Events	$1,076,681
Total Events Funding	$3,926,703

4.4 With the cancellation of SailGP the additional funding ($300,000 Regional Event Funding, $718,000 SailGP 2025 Balance) has been applied to events in 2024/25.

4.5 The additional events funding will be held by the Recreation Sport and Events Unit and be distributed to the partner agencies as the expenses are incurred.

City Identity

4.6 The city identity fund is to address the gap that iconic community events fall into. They are important as iconic city events but do not qualify for major events funding and require greater funding than what is available through CCC Events and Festivals. These events must have significant evidence that they contribute to city identity and have strong community outcomes. They would be provided funding and production support to ensure collaborative delivery.

4.7 Funding of $125,000 in 2024/25 from the City identity Fund has been made available to the Canterbury Agricultural & Pastoral Association as a contribution to hosting an A & P show in November 2024. An additional $125K as an underwrite is proposed for 2025/26. This underwrite will convert to a loan if drawn down. This funding is to recognise the benefit of the show to the region and provide the city’s support to the new volunteer board who have made the decision to deliver a show in 2024, rather than starting from scratch in 2025. It also acknowledges that monies generated by the trust fund established associated to the purchase of the lease for 141 and 189 Wigram Road will not be available in full for this year’s Show.

4.8 The process for identifying and funding city identify events will be finalised by the Christchurch City Council Events Team after liaising with partner agencies.

9. Youth Portfolio Lead Report
Reference Te Tohutoro:	23/2052585
Report of Te Pou Matua:	Councillor Harrison-Hunt, Youth Portfolio Lead; Danielle Endacott, Community Development Advisor - Youth

1. Purpose of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to present the second Youth Portfolio report to the Council since the establishment of portfolios.

1.2 This report has been prepared by Councillor Harrison-Hunt and staff.

2. Youth Portfolio Lead Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Council:

1. Receives the information in the Youth Portfolio Report.

3. Background

3.1 Youth are defined as persons aged between 12 and 24 years. A population made up of approximately 800,000* young people across Aotearoa New Zealand, approximately 15% of the population.

3.2 The youth demographic plays a crucial role in shaping the future of Ōtautahi Christchurch, with those aged 10 – 24 making up around 19% (76,200*) of the city's population (Infometrics, June 2023).

3.3 The Youth Portfolio was created in November 2022 after the triennial election. The Mayor established the committees of the Council under Section 41A (3) of the Local Government Act 2002. Portfolios were introduced to ensure the Council engages appropriately with specific population groups/issues. Portfolio holders were to be the champion for a particular population group or issue.

3.4 Council work in this space is guided by the Te Haumako; Te Whitingia | Strengthening Communities Together Strategy. This strategy acknowledges and commits to building authentic, trusted relationships with the youth sector to ensure Ōtautahi Christchurch and Banks Peninsula offer opportunities for everyone.

3.5 Council has recently adopted (March 2024) the Equity and Inclusion Policy which incorporates relevant principles of the Children’s Policy 1998 and Youth Policy 1998 which are associated with this portfolio. This strategy promotes equitable access to services for all residents of Christchurch and Banks Peninsula and commits to equity and inclusion in decision-making.

3.6 The Christchurch Youth Action Plan (2017) outlines the needs and aspirations of Christchurch youth in areas like transport, wellbeing, employment, and education. It aims to turn ideas into action, engage key stakeholders, and create an inclusive community while empowering young people as active citizens.

3.6.1 The considerations of each issue defined in the Action Plan show great promise, however, the decision-making mechanism bares difficultly, due to the limited power of individual elected members in addressing these issues. Collaboration is essential to achieve positive outcomes for youth and the community.

3.6.2 Council staff will collaborate with the Christchurch Youth Council (CYC) and others to consider if the Plan still effectively reflects the experiences of young people in Ōtautahi.

4. Metropolitan Events, Organisations and Providers

4.1 The Christchurch Youth Council (CYC) / Runanga Taiohi o Ōtautahi

4.1.1 The Christchurch Youth Council (CYC) focuses on amplifying the youth voice and addressing issues faced by young people across the city.

4.1.2 The Christchurch City Council and the CYC have a unique relationship. Unlike most Territorial Authorities where the Youth Council is an internal committee, the Christchurch Youth Council is a separate legal entity. This allows them to provide objective advice and pursue independent initiatives.

4.1.3 The Council and CYC have a Memorandum of Understanding, which was agreed to in December 2023 and is effective for three years.

4.1.4 Their recent projects include the ‘Youth Takeover Survey’. This is an annual activity for CYC, however, this year they partnered with Youth Voice Canterbury (YVC), involving youth councils from Christchurch, Hurunui, Waimakariri, and Greymouth. 643 responses were received from young people, with the highest number from Christchurch District.

· A key finding showed relatively low confidence in respondents’ knowledge around local government. Improving this will remain a focus for Council staff in collaboration with CYC and the youth sector. Full results are in Attachment A.

4.1.5 CYC is also rolling out Civics Education sessions in 10 schools, focusing on how to have a voice in decision-making processes and the importance of submissions and how to provide them.

Home (chchyouthcouncil.org.nz)

4.2 Rerenga Awa / Canterbury Youth Workers Collective NZ

4.2.1 Rerenga Awa are the voice for youth workers and services across Canterbury. They work to support those who work with youth by providing professional development, networking opportunities, accountability, information, and resource sharing.

4.2.2 Rerenga Awa coordinates networks to support priority populations, including youth workers and services for Rainbow and Māori communities, and are exploring the need for a Pasifika-focused network.

4.2.3 Their Māori advisory group guides the ‘Pou Tuhono’ network and is exploring a co-governance model for Rerenga Awa.

4.2.4 Under the Rerenga Awa banner of 'ReVision' and in collaboration with Youth Voice Canterbury, young people conduct 'youth audits' across the city. These audits have included projects like Te Kaha stadium and the Christchurch Multicultural Centre, and they have been asked to provide input on the South Library and Service Centre rebuild plans.

ReVision (youthvoicecanterbury.org.nz)

Rerenga Awa | Canterbury Youth Workers Collective New Zealand |(cywc.org.nz)

4.3 YCD / Youth & Cultural Development

4.3.1 YCD are strong advocates for the city’s youth, particularly Māori and Pasifika rangatahi. They support youth wellbeing through mentoring, educational workshops, recreational activities, and events.

4.3.2 They have run events in collaboration with the Council such as the FRESH pool parties, basketball events and the annual Christchurch Hip-Hop Summit held at Tūranga.

4.3.3 In partnership with the Council, they have recently opened the “The Igloo” - a youth hub at the Christchurch Bus Exchange with trained youth workers onsite to support youth safety and wellbeing. The Igloo opens from 3pm to 6pm weekdays for youth of all ages while they wait for their buses. In the first six weeks of being open, the space saw about 50-100 young people each day.

4.2.1 The presence of trained youth workers and engaging activities like barbering, hair braiding, DJing, and games has seemingly fostered an increased sense of safety at the bus exchange. YCD also conducts outreach in areas with high youth activity or antisocial behaviour. Recently, they have focused on Westfield Mall in Riccarton.

4.2.2 Interestingly, CCC staff have noticed increased patronage of the Bus Exchange, and the presence of the ‘Igloo’ seemingly supports this. We are also continuing to see a downward trend in reported incidents.

4.4 SS4C / School Strike 4 Climate Ōtautahi

4.4.1 SS4C held a climate action strike at Council in April 2024. The key messages they have pushed as of 2021 include the phasing out of fossil fuels, investing in renewal energy sources, supporting a just transition with cycle infrastructure and modal shifts, cutting emissions, and providing climate education.

4.6 Youth Hub Christchurch / Youth Hub Trust

4.6.1 Construction of the Youth Hub Christchurch on Salisbury Street is underway, with part expected to open by the end of the year. The facility will support young people aged 10-25 by providing a centralised space in central Christchurch for accessing a range of services, including mental health, medical care, education, employment, transitional housing, recreation, creativity, and social entrepreneurship.

4.2.3 Cr. Harrison-Hunt has visited twice across stages and has had regular updates on the status of the development.

4.2.4 More than a dozen organisations are interested in partnering with the Youth Hub and having offices on site. Anchor tenants will include Youthline, Te Tahi Youth (formerly 298 Youth Health), and Voyce Whakarongo Mai, who will have dedicated offices and clinical spaces in Stage One. Other organisations will be able to use the seven bookable rooms and open-plan office space for hot-desking.

6. Intergenerational Fairness Model

4.3 Cr. Harrison-Hunt has been working with organisations around what intergenerational fairness looks like in the scheme of local government. Quite recently, Cheryl Doig (Think beyond) and UC have been exploring this model after welcoming a visit from Wales’ first Future Generations Commissioner, Sophie Howe.

4.4 The work in this space has predominantly been led by the School of International Futures (SOIF) and the United Nations (UN). The model has the ability to put intergenerational fairness into a measurable model to implement in any decision-making practice.

4.5 The model is aimed to provide fairness for today’s generation and the next, which inevitably creates a more sustainable political, economic and environmental climate where all our citizens can thrive. It’s seen as an evidence-based decision-making framework which decentralises bureaucracy and places all people at the heart of intergenerational thinking.

4.6 Council’s Strengthening Communities Together Strategy highlights the importance of considering future generations and using intergenerational approaches to equity, especially under the Te Tāngata Pou (People Pillar). It would be valuable to explore how this looks in practice and how we as a Council can stay accountable to these principles.

8. Community Board Insights – Projects and trends

8.1 Across the community boards, the Council actively supports youth-focused initiatives through funding, resources, and partnerships. Priorities include creating safe spaces and providing specialised support for young people, with several boards backing after-school programs, mobile youth hubs, and informal recreation spaces. Examples include funding towards mobile youth centres in Riccarton (Orgs) and Linwood (Org), and initiatives to enhance youth safety in malls, such as the Youth Safety project in Northlands Mall and the ReVision ‘Youth-Friendly Spaces’ audit that has been requested for Westfield Mall and its surrounds in Riccarton.

8.2 Growing youth leadership and civic participation are also key focus areas, with the Council encouraging young people to engage in community decision-making and advocacy. In Addington, the Mānuka Rangatahi Roopu successfully advocated for a local basketball court, reflecting the increasing influence of youth in shaping their communities. Similarly, young people in Lyttelton are becoming more involved in civic matters, participating in local events and discussions, which presents further opportunities to foster their leadership capabilities.

8.3 However, the community governance teams are still seeing an array of challenges for youth and the youth sector, including insufficient support systems, and difficulties for youth organisations in securing funding and qualified staff. Additionally, geographic and financial barriers impact youth participation in different areas, particularly in regions like Banks Peninsula, where transport and access to activities are limited. The growing community of Halswell also faces specific needs, such as the development of social infrastructure to support its expanding youth population.

8.4 Across the six community board areas, Strengthening Communities funding for youth initiatives slightly increased for FY 2024/25 ($572,500) compared to FY 2023/24 ($564,673). However, this is lower than the $596,625 allocated in FY 2022/23.

8. General State of the Youth Sector

8.5 Recent decisions by Central Government may impact the youth sector in several ways. Tougher criteria for emergency housing, combined with budget and contract cuts, could limit organisations' capacity to support vulnerable youth.

8.6 The recent “Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care” report highlights systemic issues that the sector faces.

8.7 Christchurch City Council has a history of strong support for Smokefree and Vapefree initiatives, exemplified by its 2020 Smokefree and Vapefree Public Places Policy. This policy extended smoke-free areas to include outdoor spaces such as gardens, sportsgrounds, and bus shelters. Some health experts are concerned that recent changes to smoking and tobacco legislation, including the repeal of the smokefree generation (SFG) policy, could affect long-term public health outcomes for youth.

8.8 There are some potential opportunities in the current climate: many feel that the increased presence of police on “the beat” has lifted feelings of safety in many communities, and new initiatives are addressing youth phone use in classrooms to improve engagement and focus.

8.9 In April, 200 young people from around New Zealand gathered in Auckland to create the “Aotearoa Youth Declaration.” This document reflects their collective vision for the future of Aotearoa. The group plans to present the declaration to the Council at some point to ensure that youth-needs are considered in decision-making.

10. Mayor's Monthly Report
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/795965
Report of Te Pou Matua:	Mayor Phil Mauger

1. Purpose of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the external activities undertaken by the Mayor in his role as the city's and community's leader. It also highlights key matters that require the attention of the Council.

1.2 This report has been compiled to ensure a record of the Mayor’s engagements and any pertinent issues that have arisen.

1. Receives and notes the information in the Mayor’s Monthly Report.

3. Mayor’s Activities

3.1 Over the past month, the Mayor has participated in a range of community events and meetings, focusing on key issues such as infrastructure development, stakeholder engagement, and regional collaboration. These engagements are central to furthering the city's goals and strengthening its relationships across various sectors.

3.2 One of the significant highlights was the Mayor’s participation as a panellist in the “Future of Canterbury” event hosted by Duncan Cotterill. This event facilitated discussions on the region’s long-term development, including sustainable growth and local governance challenges. The Mayor also met with Minister of Finance, Hon Nicola Willis, to discuss Christchurch’s future and the ongoing need for collaboration between local and central government.

3.3 The Mayor’s community engagement efforts continued with various events, including a tree planting ceremony celebrating Ballantynes’ 170th anniversary with Deputy Mayor Cotter and Councillors McLellan and Johanson. This milestone recognised the department store’s significant contribution to the city's heritage and economy, as well as its resilience as a key institution in Christchurch’s post-earthquake recovery.

3.4 In addition, the Mayor spoke at the H2Wheels Synergy Green Hydrogen Conference, addressing the importance of advancing green energy technologies and their role in shaping Christchurch's sustainable future. The event reinforced the city’s commitment to becoming a leader in clean energy solutions, in line with broader national and global goals for reducing carbon emissions.

3.5 A visit to the Rātā Foundation with Councillors provided an opportunity to discuss ongoing community funding and how partnerships between Council and Rata can benefit Christchurch. The Mayor also engaged in numerous civic responsibilities, such as presiding over the Citizenship Ceremony, where new citizens were officially welcomed to Christchurch. Additionally, he spoke at the Annual Malaysian Independence Celebration Dinner, reinforcing the city’s strong multicultural ties and inclusive community values.

Reopening of chlorine-free water taps

3.6 In August the Council reopened the chlorine-free water taps at Burnside Park and Keyes Road, which marked a significant milestone in providing Christchurch residents with access to untreated drinking water. The reopening followed upgrades to meet the Water Services Act 2021 requirements.

3.7 These upgrades ensure compliance with government drinking water regulations, reflecting the Council’s commitment to delivering essential services. Councillors Donovan and MacDonald joined the Mayor at the opening of the Burnside Park tap. The provision of chlorine-free water remains a key focus, and these taps offer an accessible solution for those who prefer untreated water.

3.8 While the complete removal of chlorine from Christchurch's water supply is unlikely, the reinstatement of these taps provides a practical solution. The Council continues to work on broader water supply improvements, including the installation of continuous monitoring equipment and the replacement of the temporary chlorination system.

Mayoral Forum Update

3.9 In the Canterbury Mayoral Forum held on 30 August 2024, key topics included updates on water reform, climate action, and economic development priorities for the region. There were discussions on the new National Land Transport Programme, the importance of sustainable infrastructure, and improving relationships with central government.

3.10 Notable decisions included:

3.10.1 Water Management Strategy: A subgroup was formed to further develop local freshwater leadership, recognising the importance of continued collaboration across councils and Papatipu Rūnanga.

3.10.2 Canterbury Climate Partnership Plan: The Forum endorsed the Canterbury Climate Partnership Plan, highlighting regional action on climate change, with support for both public-private partnerships and Papatipu Rūnanga integration.

3.10.3 Regional Economic Development: A workshop was planned to identify key regional economic development priorities, emphasising collaboration with Ngāi Tahu and Canterbury’s business sector.

3.11 These topics reflect the Forum's ongoing commitment to sustainability, economic growth, and efficient infrastructure development.

Joint CCC and Environment Canterbury Hui

3.12 On 6 September 2024, Christchurch City Council and Environment Canterbury held a Governor to Governor Forum to discuss shared priorities and opportunities for collaboration. The Mayor highlighted key Council priorities, including the implementation of the Long-Term Plan, developing the Water Services Delivery Plan, and continuing to build strong relationships with central government. He also noted the importance of sustainability and transport infrastructure planning.

3.13 ECan Chair Peter Scott reinforced the need for regional co-investment in flood protection and river management, as well as strengthening partnerships with Ngāi Tahu across Te Waipounamu. He emphasised the importance of a collective approach to public transport and resource management reforms.

3.14 The Forum facilitated a wide-ranging discussion among councillors, with a strong focus on the benefits of collaboration, particularly in areas such as pest management, earthquake preparedness, and improving public transport services. Both councils reiterated their commitment to working together to address regional challenges and enhance outcomes for their communities.

4. Key Issues and Matters for Council’s Attention

Update on Local Water Done Well

4.1 The first tranche of legislation for the Government's new water reforms has been enacted, establishing the initial framework. Additional legislation is expected to be introduced later this year.

4.2 Over the next 12 months, Council will develop and submit our Water Services Delivery Plan. This plan will outline the financial investment needed for the next ten years and the steps we will take to ensure Christchurch’s water services are financially sustainable. As part of this, we will model the reform outcomes using our current in-house model as a baseline. At the same time, we will assess other delivery models and explore potential partnerships to enhance service delivery and operational efficiency.

4.3 Our goal is to submit the plan early, allowing ample time for any necessary revisions before the final deadline.

Christ Church Cathedral Reinstatement Update

4.4 On 20 August, the Mayor had the opportunity to meet with representatives from Christ Church Cathedral Reinstatement Ltd (CCRL) to discuss the ongoing challenges surrounding the reinstatement project. The meeting also addressed recent correspondence from the New Zealand Government regarding funding.

4.5 CCRL has requested continued leadership and support from both the Church and the Council to help secure a long-term funding solution for the Cathedral's reinstatement. Specifically, CCRL asked that the remaining balance of the $10 million grant—now $7 million—be retained by the Council to ensure these funds are available for future reinstatement efforts.

4.6 Although construction is currently paused, work continues behind the scenes to find a path forward. A workshop is scheduled for late October between the Church Property Trustees and CCRL Directors. Following this, CCRL intends to return to the Council to provide an update to elected members on the next steps for the project.

National Land Transport Programme 2024-27 (NLTP)

4.7 The 2024-27 National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) sets a record $32.9 billion investment in New Zealand’s transport network. For Canterbury, this significant funding is expected to address key transport challenges while promoting economic growth, resilience, and safety across the region.

4.8 Key projects for Christchurch and Canterbury:

4.8.1 SH1 Belfast to Pegasus Motorway and Woodend Bypass: This project will reduce travel times, boost freight connectivity, and unlock housing development opportunities to the north of Christchurch.

4.8.2 SH76 Brougham Street: Design and property purchases will progress, preparing for future development in this key urban corridor.

4.8.3 Pages Road Bridge Replacement: A collaboration with Christchurch City Council, this project will enhance safety and emergency evacuation routes in the east of Christchurch.

4.8.4 SH75 Halswell Road Improvements: This includes bus lane developments to reduce congestion and improve accessibility in this growing southwestern part of Christchurch.

4.9 Canterbury will also see substantial investments in public transport, with $358 million allocated to enhance services, including the introduction of the National Ticketing Solution. Additionally, safety upgrades across the region will target high-risk intersections and corridors, and pothole prevention measures will be reinforced with significant funding.

4.10 For Christchurch, this programme represents a strong focus on infrastructure upgrades, economic growth, and resilience, ensuring the city can meet the demands of a growing population while maintaining safe, efficient transport systems.
